J AMERICAN CONSULS TO BEL GIUM MUST SUIT GERMANS Salem — Secretary ot State Olcott has announced that his estimate of the expenses of the State department for the next two years is $8,775,396.47. The budget is based upon estimates submitted by the various departments to provide the legislature with some thing tangible for use as a basis in making biennial appropriations. The estimate is an increase of $802,075.64 over the expenses of the present bi ennial period. Under the law the various depart ments must submit estimates to the secretary of state not later than No vember 15, and he must have a com plete itemized statement ready for the members of the legislature several weeks before the beginning of the ses sion. “ The estimate includes $58,224.62 allotted by the emergency board to meet deficiencies in sundry appropri ations for the current biennial period which were found to be inadequate for the purposes intended,” said Secretary Olcott. “ Of the total estimate of $8,775,- 396.47 the sum of $1,650,588.51 is provided for by fees, licenses, contri butions and so forth, paid into special funds which, under existing laws, can only be used for specific purposes, though it will be found that in some cases the estimated receipts do not fully cover the item of estimated ex penses, and in others that they are in excess thereof. The sum of $275,270 is derived from the Federal govern ment and private subscriptions, which are not paid over into the state treas ury and disbursed upon warrants of the secretary of state. “ The special annual millage taxes, that is one twenty-fifth o f a mill for the Monmouth Normal school, three- tenths of a mill for the University of Oregon, four-tenths of a mil! for the Oregon State Agricultural college and one-fourth of a mill for road purposes, aggregating $1,898,000; the annual continuing appropriations, $1,121,- 362.97, and the estimated amounts to be provided for by appropriations by the present legislative assembly, $3,- 889,095.64, making a total of $6,908,- 458.61, is the amount which under existing laws must be provided for by a direct tax on the people of the state during the years 1915 and 1916. Upon this latter amount, however, is to be applied the estimated receipts of the state treasury not applied by law to some special purpose, aggregat ing $952,118.94, leaving a net total of approximately $5,956,339.67, which will be required to be raised by taxa tion and apportioned among the coun ties of the state through the medium of the annual tax levies for the years 1915 and 1916. "O f the receipts from sundry source, that is, those not applied by law to some special purpose, only those eman ating from the Corporation depart ment, after deducting departmental administration expenses; from the In surance department, less $15,000 an nually for departmental administration expenses; from fees of the clerk of the Supreme court; fees of the state engineer, State department, Treasury department, and the State Water board are diverted to the general fund for the payment of general govern mental expenses.’ ’ Estimates of requirements for the various state departments for 1915 and 1916 are: Accounting department, $20,000; county fairs, $95,400; state fair, $172,2*6.27; banking department, $39.660; barbers’ examining board, $6600; board of control, $15,000; bounty wild animals, $80,000; capitol, Supreme court building and grounds, $57,915; inspection child labor, $5000; conservation commission, $5000; cor poration department, $37,200; dairy and food commission $36,000; dele gates to national conventions, $10,000; board of dental examiners, $4200; desert land board, $12,000; superin tendent of public instruction, $16,920; agricultural and industrial associa tions, $12,000; uniform school record books and blanks, $10,000; board of examiners, $20,900; state teachers’ association, $500; Oregon normal school, $183,200; blind school, $37,- 789.18; deaf school, $58,778; resident instruction (O.

O. A . C. Preparing for Farm ers’ Week Feb. 1 Oregon Agricultural College, Cor vallis— More Oregon farmers and other persons engaged in productive industry than ever assembled before at the Agricultural College Farmers’ Week, will be on hand when the next session opens on Febuaray 1. This great mobilization of the industrial interests of the state will not be due to war or other destructive causes, but to the fact that closer and more extended co operation than hitherto characterized these annual gatherings has now been effected. Much of the most important work of the session will be do.ie in groups rather than by individuals and at the same time the previous high standard of special, technical instruc tion and demonstration will be carried by specialists of the different depart ments of college instruction. Indeed the work of the course will be unlike that of any similar course ever before offered in Oregon. The progressive citizens of the state who will attend will be massed in conven tions, congresses and conferences, and their thoroughly organized and con certed efforts will be brought to bear in the solution of the most pressing agricultural problems. It is impossible to state just how many industrial and social organizations will hold conven tions here at that time, but enough have already been arranged for to make the occasion one of vast im portance in the rapid and harmonious development of the state. West May Visit Belgium. Salem — Governor West may go to Belgium. He was invited Thursday by the Belgium Relief committee to accompany the relief to the war- stricken little country. His answer was as follows: "While it is going to be rather difficult for me to adjust my affairs so as to meet this situation, I feel it my duty to respond. However, I will endeavor to give the committee a definite answer within the next few days.” The invitation was signed by Samuel Hill, Octave Goffin, C.
